Bob Cesca on Greenwald's "Worst Nightmare" Threat

[Cleita]

83. Look they are gunning for him and Greenwald. He says it was insurance.

That information, which was never going to be released from what I can gather, is now being used for insurance as Greenwald said. It never will be released, because both Greenie and Snowden are dead ducks if it is. It has become a game of chicken. The USA made a big mistake with the Snowden man hunt. They should just make a deal with him to go to wherever he wants for asylum as long as he never releases the information that would bring down the USA. He really only wanted us to know about the NSA surveillance and the information gathering some telephone company is doing in Latin America, which I have read elsewhere is Verizon.

Well, no one ever cares about Latin America, neither here on DU and North America at large unless it involves a bunch of America under attack or in danger. That's how provincial we are. Going along with Morales is exactly what Latin America needs to do to eventually get rid of our influence and destructive policies there. Think what you might about Morales, but I witnessed more bloody revolutions in Bolivia when I lived on the other side of the mountains in Chile than I can count. We used to get the refugees walking across the border over the mountains to escape.

Yet, the same people would manage to get back into power over and over again. Morales is a member of the Aymara people of that country. Many of our employees in Chile were also of this tribe so I know how poorly they were treated by the Spanish upper classes in both countries. His becoming President is like Obama being the first African American here. The Spanish elite fear him as they fear the Indio people whom they have treated like shit for centuries. The fact that Americans would go along with this hatred of him or other Latinos is pretty appalling to me. But until the Monroe Doctrine is burned in a big bon fire it will continue and we won't come out smelling like roses any way you look at it.
